What does a new gas insert installation cost?

  • AVERAGE COST – A new gas fireplace insert on average costs $6,400 – $8,600 (depending on your tastes) and outputs more heat than a conventional fireplace. Starting a fire with a gas insert is as easy as hitting a button on your remote.
  • TO DO – In order to get a new gas fireplace insert, you will need access to gas (propane or natural), electric outlet and a chimney with a passing Level 2 inspection.
  • MORE HEAT – Gas inserts are an upgrade over gas log sets or conventional fireplaces. An insert can help you seal an existing fireplace while also increasing your heating ability.

Heat & Glo Escape Gas Fireplace Insert | Best of 2024

In 2024, the best gas fireplace insert on the market is the Heat & Glo Escape.

Our focus is providing our customers with warmth. The Escape insert is able to achieve the highest temperatures in our showroom because of the Firebrick technology by Hearth & Home Technologies. Firebrick is real brick material sprayed into the back of the insert. This brick refractory material reflects more heat back into your home (the marketing department says about 25% more radiant heat).
